Climate change is of significant concern for crop production as it affects crop pests and disease susceptibility, thus affecting crop health and causing a substantial decline in productivity. As the world warms, outbreaks of plant-eating insect pests are expected to intensify largely because warmer temperatures favor the pest’s biology, while boosting growth of the plants they eat. Globally, there is a high interest of finding novel botanical insecticides due to the drawbacks associated with the use of synthetic/chemical insecticides which include emergence of resistant pests, environmental pollution and various health problems such as cancer, skin itching, birth defects, infertility among others. Botanical pesticides are less toxic to the environment and public health since they are biodegradable and more specific to target pests. The current review focuses on the potential larvicidal, adulticidal, ovicidal, antifeedant and repellant activities of Cassia species against insects’ pests and plant diseases. Therefore, plant products from Cassia species may be utilized as promising biopesticides with commercial value as an alternative to synthetic pesticides.

决明子物种:生物农药的潜在来源

气候变化是影响作物生产的重要问题,因为气候变化会影响作物的病虫害和疾病易感性,从而影响作物健康并导致生产力大幅下降。随着世界变暖,以植物为食的害虫的爆发预计将加剧,因为温度升高有利于害虫的生物学,同时又促进了所食植物的生长。在全球范围内,由于使用合成/化学杀虫剂带来的缺点(包括抗药性害虫的出现,环境污染和各种健康问题,如癌症,皮肤瘙痒,先天缺陷,不育症),人们对寻找新型植物杀虫剂具有很高的兴趣。其他。植物性农药对环境和公众健康的毒性较小,因为它们是可生物降解的,并且对目标有害生物更具特异性。决明子种可抵抗昆虫的害虫和植物病害。因此,决明属物种的植物产品可以用作有前途的生物农药,具有商业价值,可以替代合成农药。
